1. Melanie Phillips on what the 27 minute tape played in a Paris
courtroom today revealed about the Mohammed Al Dura shooting. It was
staged. This French TV hoax, more than any other event, created the
second intifada which led to well over 1,000 dead Jewish Israelis.
What will the New York Times say about this tomorrow?

2. A new study shows there is still great mobility in the American
economy. It is why people want to come here, if they are ambitious
and willing to work hard. Juan Williams describes the growing gap in
black America- between those who always choose to blame the "man"
for their fate, , and those who want to move ahead.

3. Mitt Romney is ahead in Iowa and New Hampshire because he has run

campaign tens of millions as Romney has.
